Bitcoin has ignored news of regulatory action in China by rising 24% from recent lows, but a sustained rally could be delayed by strong technical resistance in the $ 34-37,000 range.

The world’s leading cryptocurrency fell to a 5-month low of $ 28,893 on June 22, before rising to $ 35,487 three days later.

The recovery was thwarted by a downward sloping trendline – which has refused to move up six times since mid-May. Trend lines act as support and resistance levels, once widely recognized by traders, creating a floor for a rally or a high for a sustained downtrend.

The strength of a level usually increases with the number of touches and descents.

A false outbreak occurred on May 13-18. June, when the price rose to a recent high of $ 41,341 before falling below the trendline.

The inability to flip the trendline in support after the initial crossover encouraged the bears, which subsequently abandoned Bitcoin on Dec.

There was also a rejection around the 200 EMA on both the 4-hour and daily charts – a rare synch in time frames that added resistance.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $ 34,000 after encountering short-term resistance at the 50 EMA on the 4-hour chart.

Movement above this level triggers three active resistance bands on the same chart:

• Trend line ($ 34,600);
• EMA 144 ($ 35,700);
• 200 EMA ($ 37,000).

The two moving averages are parallel and falling at a rate of about $ 300 per day.

A successful break through all 3 levels will pave the way for a dizzying breakout of $ 41,000 that has been a local top twice since May.

In the meantime, traders will keep a close eye on the higher timeframe monthly chart which opened at $ 36,893 in June.

A Wednesday close above or near the opening price of the month creates a long-tail candle – which is viewed by many as a bullish signal for showing that the market has tried to keep levels lower and failed.

This scenario would also cause the price to move back above the 10-month EMA, raising hopes that the downtrend that began in April is over.
